Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, says that the new “Obama” book by David Maraniss is likely to have unintended consequences. “Maraniss may have been trying to present ‘just the facts,’” Andy says. “But the ‘facts’ about Obama’s post-college years are chilling. Obama was living in some kind of Asian ‘bubble’ where he waltzed around his girlfriend wearing a sarong (a male Asian dress-style garment). The public has always had doubts about Obama’s ‘inner’ life. Maraniss’ book is going to confirm and exacerbate those suspicions. Maraniss may not have intended that result, but increased suspicion and enhanced concern for Obama’s attachment to American values are the likely result of Maraniss’ work.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin has posted his “Barack Obama Sarong Song, Part One” on one of Andy’s blogs

Andy predicts the “Sarong issue” is going to be to the 2012 presidential race what the “birth certificate” was to the 2008 campaign

Andy suggests David Maraniss’ new book may have the unintended consequence of increasing and expanding public doubts about Barack Obama’s “inner self”

Andy says Obama’s wearing of a sarong in Brooklyn and Manhattan in Obama’s early 20’s was strange behavior for a normal American to accept

Andy will be posting the “Barack Obama Sarong Song, Part One” on other media as he figures out how to do that, as well adding additional versions of the “Sarong Song”

With “Sarong Song” Andy takes up the cudgels of Andrew Breitbart by posting controversial political videos

(HONOLULU) (May 9, 2012) Independent Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement and then distanced himself from his creation, has posted the “Barack Obama Sarong Song, Part One” on one of his blogs. Additional versions will be forthcoming. Andy is about to reprise his 2008 success in undermining public confidence in who Barack Obama really is, and what Obama really stands for. Andy’s “sarong issue” is about to enter American politics.

“David Maraniss’ new book has opened an ‘eye’ into Barack Obama’s ‘weirdness factor’ as a young college graduate,” Andy says. “By his early 20’s Obama was no longer a child playing in a sandbox. Obama was a young Columbia University graduate, apparently living in Manhattan and Brooklyn. And he was living what by any standards was a bizarre lifestyle. Genevieve Cook, Obama’s ‘composite’ but real life girlfriend, is quoted in David Maraniss new book as seeing Obama wearing a sarong at home.

“Most Americans don’t even know what a sarong is.

“Is Obama wearing a sarong in the White House? The question is a reasonable one.

“The ‘foreigner’ doubts which tens of millions of Americans have had about Obama have now been confirmed. Obama was wearing a sarong, a form of male house dress-like garment popular in Asia, in Brooklyn and Manhattan in his 20’s. ‘Saronging’ represented Obama’s self-image, his statement to the world of ‘who he was.’ Obama’s self-image is probably creepy for most Americans. You can’t get any more ‘foreign’ than wearing a sarong at home, in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

“I am no technical expert and working from a hotel suite it’s not easy to do ‘technical’ work. But I have managed to post ‘Barack Obama’s Sarong Song, Part One’ on the Internet.

“It may seem unlikely now, in May, but I predict the ‘Sarong issue’ is going to be to the 2012 election cycle what the ‘birth certificate’ was to the 2008 campaign: an eye into the mind of a very peculiar individual with a confused identity,” Andy says. “Obama’s wearing of a sarong will be a metaphor for his bizarre identity and Obama’s lack of attachment to ordinary, Main Street American values.”

“Barack Obama Sarong Song, Part One,” is only available on one of Andy’s blogs today (see link below). But the video will eventually be posted across the board on Andy’s blogs and hopefully on his YouTube channel as Andy struggles to overcome his limitations as a non-techie.

Enjoy “Barack Obama Sarong Song, Part One,” (suggestion, play it in “full-screen” mode):

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, will hold a Honolulu news conference Tuesday, May 8th to charge that President Barack Obama is blocking access to Obama’s original Hawai’i birth certificate. “Obama wants us to rely on his ‘copy’ of the original,” Andy charges. “But he does not want us to see the actual original piece of paper. Scholarly research is based on access to original texts, not Internet facsimiles. Obama is ‘de-legitimizing’ himself. He tries to manipulate his ‘image’ by providing access to sympathetic liberal journalists such as David Maraniss of the Washington Post; anyone who might be skeptical is ignored. Obama is stonewalling. Is it any wonder the American people don’t trust either Obama or his web-based birth certificate?”

Andy says Obama tries to manipulate the truth by granting access to sympathetic liberal writers such as David Maraniss, and censoring conservatives and independents

Andy says Obama’s tactics are backfiring and explain the new anti-Obama firestorm (see North Carolina article below) which results from Obama’s continuing claims of secrecy for Obama’s original, official document

Andy says Obama’s “shucking and jiving” over access to the original is fueling national suspicion as to the authenticity of the White House facsimile birth certificate posted on the Internet

(HONOLULU) (May 8, 2012) Independent Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement and then distanced himself from his creation, will hold a Honolulu news conference today, Tuesday, May 8, 2012 to charge that President Barack Obama is denying scholarly and research access to the original copy of his Hawai’i birth certificate.

Andy wrote to Obama seeking permission for access, and Obama has failed to respond.

“Once again we see Barack Obama shooting himself in the foot,” Andy says. “Obama gives favored access to sympathetic liberals such as David Maraniss, and ‘stonewalls’ everyone else. Why, if Obama has released a ‘copy’ of the original copy of his Hawai’i birth certificate, would Obama refuse to allow public access to the typewritten original document? Whether you dislike Obama or love him, he is a fact of American history. His ‘birth certificate’ is a historical document.

“Most states would proudly display the original document in the state archives. Only the smugglers in Hawai’i seek to keep Obama’s original document under lock-and-key.

“Having issued what he said was a copy of the original, why is Obama refusing to allow scholar access to the actual original? Obama is de-legitimizing himself.

I am writing to request written authorization from you directed to the State of Hawai’i authorizing me to view and copy your original 1961 birth certificate.

In 2011 you released a copy of your 1961 birth document. Some people, not including me, questioned the authenticity of that document. (I expressed no opinion.) Sheriff Joe Arpaio recently suggested your document may be a forgery. I don’t know.

I am an independent researcher and scholar who is only interested in finding the facts and searching for the truth.

I am leaving for Hawai’i in May to continue my research into your family history and I would like to view and copy the original document at that time. I would like to hold the original and give it a close look.

Scholarly research is always based on access to and examination of original texts, not copies. I was taught how to conduct scholarly research in the Bodleian Library at Oxford over fifty years ago.

In 2008 I filed the original lawsuit seeking access to your birth records.

There are two aspects to my request today.

First, your release of what you said in 2011 was a copy of the original may have waived any privacy or secrecy concerns on the part of state officials. If necessary, I could therefore file a “waiver” lawsuit under state law seeking access to the original. I would prefer not to sue if I can avoid it.

Second, if you authorize me to view the original document, and I attest to its authenticity, my review of the document may provide greater credibility for the document than your own release of a copy. The public record is clear that I have never subscribed to the “Kenyan birth” theory, and I have always maintained you were born in Hawai’i, which is why I sued in Hawaii in 2008 to see the original document.

If you send me a simple written authorization/direction to Hawai’i officials to review and copy the original 1961 document that will eliminate any need for a lawsuit and will expedite my access once I arrive in Honolulu.

On the issue of policy and political differences, I am very clearly one of your strongest and best informed opponents. Nevertheless, during my presidential campaign I have supported your policies in Libya and Iran.

On the other hand, when I conduct scholarly research I only dig for the truth and the facts. You may or may not be aware of my own theory (not fact) in which I claim your biological father may be Frank Marshall Davis.

Despite Frank’s left-leanings I find Frank an infinitely more interesting character (and potential father) that Barack Obama senior. You share a lot of Frank’s qualities and characteristics. Still, my thoughts are only a theory at this time.

I hope you will provide written authorization for me to view the original Hawai’i document.

I think a letter directed at the Hawai’i Department of Health authorizing me to view and copy your original birth certificate would be sufficient under Hawai’i law.

If, on the other hand, you still claim any privacy or secrecy rights under Hawai’i law I would appreciate being advised of that fact as well. I will bring your response to the attention of the court.

Respectfully submitted,

ANDY MARTIN

ABOUT ANDY:

Andy is a legendary New York and Chicago-based muckraker, author, Internet columnist, talk television pioneer, radio talk show host, broadcaster and media critic. Chicago Public Radio calls Andy a “boisterous Internet activist.” The Chicago Tribune calls him “Chicago’s own…political activist.” He has forty-four years of background in radio and television.

He comments on regional, national and international events with more than four decades of investigative and analytical experience both in the USA and around the world.

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, will hold a Honolulu news conference Sunday, May 6th to announce that Hawai’i state officials are still denying access to President Obama’s original birth certificate. Andy’s presence in Hawai’i comes as a new Birther “explosion” is sweeping across the political landscape in the 2012 election season. “Why are Hawai’i officials illegally denying access to the original, when Obama claims he has released a ‘copy’ of the original,” Andy demands. Andy is in Honolulu continuing his research and investigation into President Obama’s “Hawai’i years. His earlier research into Obama’s past has recently been validated by the British government and other sources.

Andy says Hawai’i officials cannot lawfully maintain secrecy of Obama’s original birth certificate when Obama claims to have released a “copy” and posted a “copy” on the official White House web site

Andy says that Hawai’i officials are creating a new anti-Obama firestorm (see North Carolina article below) by continuing to claim secrecy for Obama’s official records

(HONOLULU) (May 6, 2012) Independent Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement and then distanced himself from his creation, will hold a Honolulu news conference today, Sunday, May 6, 2012 to charge that Hawai’i officials are still illegally denying access to President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate.

Andy says, “President Obama claims to have made a ‘copy’ of his original birth certificate available. He even posted a copy of the copy on the official White House web site (link below). If the birth certificate is public, how can Hawaii officials seek to keep it private? Obama has waived any privacy or secrecy rights by publicly releasing what he says is a copy of an authentic document.

“One of the basic principles of scholarly research and writing is that scholars always want to examine the original. Researchers deal with reviewing original texts, not accepting web site reproductions of official records as alternatives. Even an original copy of the Declaration of Independence is available at the National Archives. What's wrong with Hawai’i?

“Hawai’i officials are embarrassing president Obama and lighting a match to a new firestorm of Birther controversy (see North Carolina link below). While I disassociate myself from extreme elements of the Birther movement, I believe it is absolutely necessary and appropriate for Hawaii officials to allow access and viewing of the original record now that the president has authorized release of that document. How can you say the document is ‘secret’ when the president has posted what he says is a copy of the document on the White House web site?”

Andy’s letter to Hawai’i officials follows (the response of Hawai’i officials is an attachment to emailed copies of this news release):

Way back in 2008 I sued the HDOH when it refused to provide access to President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate. The mumbo jumbo at the time was that record was “secret.” Hawaii’s notoriously corrupt judicial system rubber-stamped the decision.

Since then President Obama has sent someone to Hawai’i, received a certified copy of the original document, and posted it on the White House web site. So the information contained on the original is no longer secret. Secrecy has been waived.

Nevertheless, as a scholar and historian I would like to examine the original document. Scholars and researchers always examine original texts and not electronic copies. The document is a historical archive.

I am coming to Honolulu next week and I would like to make arrangements to view the original copy of the Obama birth certificate. I assume you are no longer making arguments based on secrecy since the document is no longer secret.

Please let me know what arrangements can be made to view the original Obama birth certificate.

I would appreciate a response by fax or email as I am on the road a great deal and these come right to my computer.

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin landed in Honolulu as Vanity Fair was publishing excerpts from David Maraniss’ new book on Barack Obama. “Well, coincidence of coincidence,” Andy says, “Just as we arrived in Honolulu to continue our investigations into Obama’s ‘Hawai’i years,’ Maraniss independently confirmed Obama is a total fraud. Obama concocted an imaginary ‘white girl friend’ and lived like a total freak in his mid-20’s. Americans are endangered every day that Barack Nobama spends in the White House. My Honolulu investigation could not be more timely.

Andy landed in Hawai’i Wednesday just as David Maraniss’ new book disclosed more “composite characters” in Barack Obama’s “bogus autobiography”

Andy says Obama makes President Richard Nixon “look like an open book”

Andy says that his 2004 exposure of Obama as a fraud, and Andy’s demand that publishers [in 2004] withdrew Obama’s book as a “bogus biography,” have once again been confirmed by another independent author

Andy is planning new actions while he is in Honolulu investigating Obama’s “Hawai’i years”

Andy predicts Obama’s “sarong moment” may have more impact on public perception of Obama and the 2012 presidential election than even the bogus composite girlfriend

(HONOLULU) (May 3, 2012) Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin will hold a Honolulu news conference today, Thursday, May 3, 2012 to take credit for having exposed President Barack Obama as a fraud in 2004 (links below).

Andy says he has been completely vindicated by David Maraniss’ new book on Obama. Maraniss exposes new fictional characters in Obama’s “autobiography.” “Barack Obama is a complete fraud,” Andy says. Every day that Obama is in the White House the American people are in danger.

Andy has made numerous trips to Hawai’i investigating Obama, and has become a “virtual Kama’aina” after years in the Aloha State

Andy predicts that Obama’s “sarong moment,” as disclosed by Genevieve Cook in Maraniss’ book (link below), may more to undermine Obama than even the newly-disclosed sexual adventures.

Andy says “Obama’s New York sarong lifestyle” could decide the 2012 presidential election

“Eight years ago I exposed that Obama had written a fictional, not autobiographical, account of his life,” Andy will state today in Honolulu. “Yesterday David Maraniss’ new book confirmed that Obama even fabricated his ‘white girl friend,’ who was a ‘composite’ of women in New York, Chicago and elsewhere.

“We landed in Honolulu Wednesday evening. We announced our latest trip in early March. Obama is feeling the pressure of our new investigations. Our new disclosures expose Obama as a liar and fraud and other authors such as Maraniss are confirming my own research and writing. Obama has become a worldwide laughingstock (link below).

“Obama makes psychologically challenged President Richard Nixon look like an open book. Obama lied from the first day he appeared on the Illinois political scene, he lied his way onto the national stage, and he lied his way into the White House.

“A leader must be trusted. But how can you trust a man that lies about every aspect of his life, who fabricates every phase of his experience, who presents a paper maché portrait of himself—and labels it all ‘autobiography?’

“The issue isn’t whether Obama had sex with a white woman in Greenwich Village. No one cares. I could care less. The issue is that Obama repeatedly lied and fabricated and bamboozled booksellers and publishers into placing his book on the ‘non-fiction’ list, on the autobiographical shelves, when it should have been placed in the fiction department. Obama's work is a decent novel.

“How many 'composite characters' does it take to move a book from fact to fiction? What is true about Obama’s ‘Hawai’i years,’ and what is fiction? That’s what I am in Honolulu to find out.

“Is there any doubt the mainstream media lied to the American people in 2008? Is there any doubt why the American people do not trust either Obama or his mainstream media megaphone?

“The media are now trying to cover-up their own fraudulent practices by belatedly claiming Obama disclosed in the introduction to his book that some ‘characters’ were composite. True, but misleading. Obama never disclosed in his book who was a real person and who was a composite. The reader was left to guess what was truthful and what was imaginary. In an autobiography?

“My own mother asked me last month, ‘Why go back to Hawai’i; don’t we already know all there is to know about Hawai’i?’ The answer was ‘no’ we don’t. My research team, unlike Donald Trump’s imaginary ‘investigators,’ is actually here and actually investigating. For doubting Thomas’, they can ‘touch me’ if they require a Jesuitical confirmation of my actual presence in Hawai’i.

“Eight years ago I began breaking news about Obama. No one wanted to believe. Eight years later I am still breaking news.

“And, by the way, although the ‘Israel’ aspects of the 2004 news conference are beyond the scope of today’s news conference, I predicted in 2004 that Obama would pose a threat to Israel. How’s that for a 100% accurate crystal ball?” Andy asks. “Maraniss, David Remnick and others are decent authors. But my analysis and interpretation of Obama’s character has been peerless when to comes to exposing who Obama really is to the American people.

“I have been 100% right on Barack Obama from the first words I wrote abut him in 2004. The tragedy has been that no one wanted to listen. As the bible tells us, ‘there are none so blind as those who will not see, none so deaf as those who will not hear.’

“Every day the American people pay a high price for their own stupidity, laziness, corruption, ignorance and gullibility in giving Barack Obama the keys to the White House.

“Finally, to show that I do not focus merely on the salacious, I will make a bold prediction: David Maraniss’ picture of Barack Obama, a man in his mid-20’s, living in New York City, wearing an Indonesian male house dress, may have more impact on public perceptions of Obama than even the sexual issues. What normal American man is wearing a sarong (an Indonesian ‘dress’ worn by men) at home in his mid-20s? Newton Gingrich may have withdrawn as a presidential candidate; but Gingrich's depiction of Obama as ‘foreign’ could not have been more accurate. The ‘sarong issue’ could decide the 2012 election.

“Sarong, anyone?

“More than a decade after Obama supposedly moved back to the United States he was still wearing a sarong and acting like an Indonesian at home. Genevieve Cook’s exposure is devastating to ‘the president of whatever Jimmy Fallon called him,’” Andy predicts.

ujntsman wasd reelected in November, 2008. A few monrths later he resigned to serve his president,” Barack Obama. SDo whyh was it so terrible that Palin resigned and Hutsman served evenless of his secondterm? Can I say “double standard” again.

FORTY-EIGHT HOUR ALERT: As Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin prepares to land in Honolulu on May 2nd he explains why he considers President Barack Obama a “European socialist.” Andy focuses on Obama’s current efforts to create a political movement out of “university students” and student loans. Andy says Obama’s efforts to mold “students” into an independent political force come right out of the European socialist playbook. Andy says Obama’s “socialist” views were implanted in the president by his family and his experiences during Obama’s “Hawai’i years.”

Andy says Barack Obama’s “Hawai’i Years” helped to implant the “European socialist” values that the president now espouses in Washington

As Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin prepares to land in Honolulu he explains why Barack Obama’s “Hawai’i years” remain crucial to an understanding of the president’s mindset

Andy returns to the AlohaState to continue his cutting edge research into Barack Obama’s “Hawai’i years”

Andy says Obama’s current efforts to mobilize university students stem directly from Obama’s “European socialist” mentality

(NEW YORK) (May 1, 2012) I was the first person to call candidate Barack Obama a “socialist” on national television, in October, 2008 on “Hannity’s America.” (link below) Since then the media have ridiculed Republican claims that Obama is a “European socialist.” But the liberal media are wrong, and I was right.

As I prepare to land in Hawai’i in a few hours here are some of my reasons for returning to Honolulu for another research expedition into Obama’s childhood and adolescent years.

A national government subsidizes university educations. Each year campuses produce tens and even hundreds of thousands of new graduates. For whom there are no jobs. The national government then subsidizes “students” in continuing post-graduate education programs and provides long-term “student” stipends and subsidies to compensate for the lack of economic opportunity. Governments then appeal to “students” as a political bloc and “students” return the favor by supporting political parties that promise to extend their special benefits.

Sound familiar?

Well, appealing to students and subsidizing students and trying to mold students into a cohesive political force is one of the bedrocks of European socialist countries. Now President Barack Obama is trying to “import” the European socialist model to the United States.

Last week Obama was flying from campus to campus, appealing to students to vote for lower student loan interest rates. This weekend Obama will be on college campuses, again appealing for “student support.”

Watching Obama appeal to college students was, frankly, embarrassing. He treated them like grown-up children. And they loved it. There was lingo about basketball coaches and tournaments, collegiate rivals, and all of the minutiae of the “college years” when young students are supposed to and are expected to morph into independent adults. But not in Obamaland.

In Obamaland the government gives, and gives and gives. If you just vote the right way. Easy. Queasy.

Sadly, Obama wants to extend childhood and retard the onset of adult responsibility. If you had told anyone twenty or thirty or forty years ago that it was “progress” for university graduates to continue a dependence on their parents, most people would have been be embarrassed to continue an umbilical cord after graduation. People believed that after college they should be establishing independent lives, jobs, relationships. Dad's health insurance? Oh, pleeeeze.

Today “helicopter parents” are creating an “endless” childhood, paying cell phone bills for children in their late twenties, welcoming “children” back into their homes, accepting a prolonged adolescence that can now last into a person’s 30’s. Year ago such a life model would have been considered embarrassing, dependent, a total failure. Today, I’m not so sure.

Watching some of the “students” that the media publicize, people in their 30’s looking for government subsidies so they can enjoy themselves with their own individual pursuits, while receiving the benefits of continuing government taxpayer subsidies from ordinary working class Americans, makes me wonder if individual energy and individual responsibility and adult values are not already endangered by the Obama mentality.

Obama’s plays the “student/endless childhood” fiddle with a virtuoso touch. He promises “lower interest rates,” like any snake oil salesman seeking to separate the vulnerable and gullible from their lucre (in this case their votes). The only problem? Obama’s “lower interest rates” would only take effect in the future, for new loans, after Obama’s last election. His “campaign” would have no impact on existing student loans.

Obama is nevertheless trying to translate future student loan interest rates into votes in the current presidential election. To do so Obama must get “students” to become a political force in their own right. Obama is trying to politicize student finances so that every future presidential election cycle will include a component appealing to “student” values and economic interests. But who pays the taxes that subsidize affluent students? Working-class Americans. Oh, and “millionaires and billionaires.” Almost forgot.

Republicans have responded with their own statistics. They note recent graduates can’t find jobs in an “Obama economy.” Due to poor job opportunities students are forced to live at home with their parents, in an extended adolescence that may continue into their 30’s. Families and children, housing and economic security must all be postponed, deferred and eventually maybe even denied.

Because the “Depression Generation” is now mostly dead and gone, and because today’s “Boomer” grandparents have always enjoyed a cornucopia of affluence and privilege, there are few who remember when people actually saved for a home or car and waited to get married and start a family until they had sufficient savings to establish a household. Waiting; scrimping and saving; patience and economizing all used to be the norm. Not any more. Under Obama everyone gets a government subsidy. And “free” gratification.

Save? Wait? Patience? Economize? These are not words in today’s student lexicon. Where affluence is the standard, perpetuating dependency has become the norm. Obama does everything he can to encourage government dependency as the sole source of all security and sustenance. Free interest rates? Free birth control? Free whatever. “Just vote for me,” says Obama. “You got it.” And the students eat up this nonsense. And cheer wildly. Like children at a fourth grade school assembly. No wonder Obama will be on the road this weekend, promising more and asking less of today’s students.

So how did Obama become a European socialist?

Obama’s socialist values were implanted during his Hawai’i years. His socialist values stem from three general sources: [1] Obama’s mother, who had a collectivist, socialist, third world mentality; [2] Frank Marshall Davis, who was a communist and may have been Obama’s biological father; and [3] Obama’s experiences at Punahou School in Honolulu where he was forced to interact on a daily basis with the wealthiest children and the most privileged families of Hawai’i.

The financial circumstances of Obama’s grandparents, with whom he lived from the age of 10 to 18, were a far cry from the privileged circumstances of his fellow Punahou students. Resentment anybody?

People often ask me, “Why go back to Hawai’i? Isn’t Obama all in the White House now?” Well, with respect to daily policy, that is correct. But Obama’s mindset, his personality, his psyche, were all formed in Hawai’i. When I produced my original film on his Hawai’i Years (available in segments at www.BoycottHawaii.com, and www.AndyMartinforPresident.com) I delved into the permanent impact Hawai’i has had on the 44th president.

Will Obama succeed in implanting European social values in today’s American university students? He will “succeed” only if he is elected to a second term, if he completely destroys our free enterprise economy and if college graduates become financially desperate and emotionally despondent.

ujntsman wasd reelected in November, 2008. A few monrths later he resigned to serve his president,” Barack Obama. SDo whyh was it so terrible that Palin resigned and Hutsman served evenless of his secondterm? Can I say “double standard” again.

As Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin prepares to land in Honolulu on May 2nd, conservatives dropped a media bombshell endorsing Andy Martin’s prior research in the Aloha State. Andy created the “Frank Marshall Davis is Barack Obama’s biological father” theory after his research and investigation in Hawai’i in 2008. Andy pieced together how Frank Marshall Davis impregnated Ann Dunham, the president’s mother, and how the Kenyan Barack Obama became a stand-in for the president’s biological parent. Andy’s original theory and the 2008 CNN video documenting (and discounting) his claims have now become conservative dogma 2012.

Andy Martin, a controversial factor in the 2008 presidential election, is set to become a driving force in the 2012 presidential race

Andy was ridiculed in 2008 by CNN for his Hawai’i research; that research is now being corroborated by a new film promoted by the conservative web site WorldNetDaily.com

As Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin prepares to land in Honolulu a media firestorm may be triggered by a new film endorsing Andy’s earlier 2008 Hawai’i research

Andy says CNN’s 2008 video of Andy in Honolulu will become a controversial piece of the Obama puzzle and possibly even a part of American television history (a CNN camera crew followed Andy in 2008 in Honolulu)

(NEW YORK) (April 26, 2012) Will wonders never cease? Early April 25th I issued our “Honolulu Bulletin: Countdown to Honolulu,” announcing my research team would be landing in Hawai’i on May 2nd. Within hours, conservative Author Jerry Corsi published a story announcing that my original 2008 theory about President Barack Obama’s true biological father is now the topic of a new movie by Joel Gilbert. The movie is now being sold on WorldNetDaily.com (link below).

To be entirety clear and precise, I consider Jerry Corsi a friend. But we are friendly competitors. We do not share research and we compete for Obama information. I don’t have any link to WorldNetDaily.com. So, frankly, I was stunned when one of my friends in Chicago notified me of Corsi's new article Wednesday evening (April 25th).

I have not seen Joel Gilbert’s film nor do have any direct link to the film. (As I told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes in 2007, all Obama research stems from my original research.) I am generally aware that “indecent” photos of the president’s mother have been linked to Frank Marshall Davis but I have chosen to avoid some topics involving Obama’s mother such as the sex photos.

Nevertheless, the strange coincidence of my announcement confirming my trip in the morning, and a conservative “endorsement” by late afternoon, both on April 25th, confirms what I have said. My independent research and analysis drives the media crazy and drives the Obama “command” crazy because I have been driving the agenda on Barack Obama for the past eight years, since my original 2004 research on Obama’s grandfather and “Kenyan father,” research that was confirmed just last week by the British government.

Keoki Kerr and I sparred over these issues in 2010 during one of my earlier research trips to Honolulu (see link below-video apparently no longer available from KITV). (Kerr was somewhat confused by my views.)

I was the first independent investigator to land in Honolulu, in 2008, and my presence in Hawai’i and my efforts to interview Obama’s grandmother prompted the then-presidential candidate to turn his campaign plane around and fly to Honolulu to preempt me. Now we know why. I was coming closer to the Rosetta Stone about Mr. Obama’s family history.

My latest visit to Honolulu, next week, may also roil Hawaii’s’ political waters. Governor Linda Lingle, now a candidate for U. S. Senator, was someone who promoted the Obama’s-father-was-Obama on the eve of the 2008 election. Lingle consistently frustrated and denied my efforts to find the facts and search for the truth about Obama’s family history. Lingle helped make bad law in Honolulu on the issue of public accessibility to Honolulu’s historical records (see link below to history of the controversy, ObamaReleaseYourRecords).

All Points Bulletin: Has anyone got a downloaded version of the original KITV interview? It was online for a long period but has apparently been removed by KITV News. Please let us know.

We’ll have some new bombshell disclosures of our own both before we leave and in Honolulu after we arrive there. What is amazing to me is the way President Obama has kept doubts about his parentage alive by refusing to be forthright and candid with an honest and independent historical researcher such as myself. All I have ever searched for is the truth, and all I have ever tried to find is the facts about “Obama in Hawaii.” By delaying my efforts and seeking to block my research. Obama has done continuing damage to his on credibility.

I do not believe I exaggerate when I state, unequivocally, that the “doubter” vote, i.e. persons who have doubts about President Obama but may not subscribe to “Birther theories,” is going to be the “swing vote” that swings the 2012 presidential election.

Stay tuned for more bombshells. Not just from me, but from other conservatives that follow and monitor my own research and, in the case of the new “Frank Marshall Davis movie,” have now validated and confirmed my own prior research and supported my original investigation in Honolulu. Unlike Obama's mainstream media sycophants, for the past eight years I have been 100% correct in researching and writing about President Obama. No one else can match that record of historical accomplishment and accuracy.

People wonder why I spend so much time in Honolulu. My research has changed and is changing the way Americans view Barack Obama. His presidency hangs in the balance.

Our “Countdown to Honolulu” is now only six days away.

[Andy’s own short film, “Obama: The Hawai’i Years,” can be seen on his presidential web site as well as at www.BoycottHawaii.com. You be the judge of whether Andy’s scholarly work has been the pathfinding work on Barack Obama.]

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin is the Internet’s leading independent conservative investigator and analyst. Andy’s research in Hawai’i into Barack Obama’s “Hawai’i years” has already drawn worldwide attention because of Andy’s thoroughness, integrity, originality and professionalism, all of which are reasons why Barack Obama and Obama’s cohort intensely dislike Andy’s investigative activity. Andy’s investigative team will landing Honolulu May 2nd to continue its research into President Obama’s “Hawai’i years.” Please join us in supporting the Hawaii’s research team as it continues its efforts to unearth the facts about the President Obama’s Hawai’i years. Andy’s team welcomes input from anyone who knows about Barack Obama’s “Hawai’i years” or Frank Marshall Davis’ life story.

Andy hopes that the “climate of fear” which candidate-President Obama created to discourage Hawai’ians from candidly discussing Obama’s Hawai’i years is now being dissipated

Andy welcomes input from anyone and everyone who has information about Barack Obama’s Hawai’i years

Andy says he continues to be intrigued by his theory that the controversial Frank Marshall Davis is Obama’s biological father

(NEW YORK)(April 25, 2012) Eight years after Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin became Barack Obama’s first critic, and four years after Andy landed in Honolulu with the first independent investigative team, Andy is set to return to Honolulu on May 2nd, 2012 to lead Andy’s latest research and investigation operartion in Hawai’i.

Andy may have been the first name on Barack Obama’s enemies list; but through all of Obama’s counterattacks, lies, smears and distortions Andy has kept searching only for the truth and kept trying only to find the facts about President Barack Hussein Obama. In Hawai’i Obama, as a teenager, was known as “Barry,” not Barack.

1. Our new look

Come August, Andy’s status as a Republican presidential candidate will end. Andy plans to endorse and support Mitt Romney. Until then Andy will continue to press Romney & Co. to prepare and present a vigorous case against President Obama. In 2008, Senator John McCain surrendered the “character issue” to Obama; McCain’s incompetence helped elect Obama. Andy says we can’t allow that to happen with Mitt Romney.

As a part of his transition out of campaign mode and into ContrarioanCommentary.com mode, effective today Andy will start using dual mastheads. Stories will have either a “ContrarianCommentary.com” masthead if they are primarily non-political, or a “Candidate” masthead if they directly relate to Andy’s current political campaign activity. Current readers will get both sets of stories. Hawai’i research falls under the ContrarianCommentary.com format.

2. Honolulu help!

If you are someone or know someone with information about Barack Obama or his family and friends, or Frank Marshall Davis or his family and friends, please contact us so you can schedule a meeting in Hawai’i with Andy’s research team. Whether you are a supporter or critic of President Obama, Andy welcomes your input; he’ll treat you fairly.

3. Join us in Hawai’i

If you’d like to join the Hawaii research team or meet with us in Honolulu, please get in touch.

Obama author and conservative Republican leader Andy Martin will make a live announcement of his candidacy on the “Bulldog Brian Tilton Show” on WTPL-FM at 10:00 A.M. [listen live at www.wtplfm.com] and then head for the Legislative Office Building in Concord, New Hampshire for an additional media appearance and announcement at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, December 29th. Martin virtually created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement with his series of columns and TV appearances in which he questioned Barack Obama’s academic history and family origins. Martin is the first presidential candidate in either party to formally announce.

Andy Martin will launch a 2012 Republican Party presidential campaign designed to force Barack Obama to authorize the release of Obama’s original birth certificate and college records

Martin will also promote “Creative Conservatism” in the Republican Party’s presidential campaign so all of America’s working families can unite and “Stand Up to Wall Street”

Martin says Obama owes Americans “full documentation” of his college records and original, typewritten birth certificate before Obama attempts to run for reelection

Martin’s GraniteState family ties make him New Hampshire’s “Favorite Son” candidate in the presidential primary

Martin charges Obama is a “socialism and surrender” president

(CONCORD, NH)(December 28, 2010) In a dramatic example of how nimble a campaigner Andy Martin will be in the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential campaign Martin moved his candidacy announcement from Chicago to Concord, New Hampshire after he was snowed in and unable to fly home to Chicago.

Andy Martin, who created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement with his original columns in 2004, and thereafter detailed the gaps in Barack Obama’s personal history, and who became the target of smear operations by David Axelrod’s Obama campaign mud merchants, will “take it to the next level” when he formally announces as a candidate for President of the United States with dual announcements, first live on WTPL-FM in Concord and thereafter at the State Capitol Legislative Office Building in Concord, New Hampshire on Wednesday, December 29th.

“After I announced that I would make a formal presidential announcement in Chicago, I was literally ‘snowed under’ by the East Coast blizzard. My flight home was cancelled. My team responded by making an advantage of adversity; our ‘Road Warrior Squadron’ came up with a new announcement location in Concord, New Hampshire.

“I want to thank Hawai’i Governor Neal Abercrombie for motivating me to make a final decision to run. Abercrombie’s Christmas Eve attacks on ‘Birthers’ were disgraceful. (link below) While I am not a reluctant candidate I am not particularly looking ahead to criss-crossing the nation.

“But I saw the Republican Party’s ‘establishment’ forfeit the 2008 election when John McCain was afraid to take on Obama and confront him over Obama’s missing family history and resume. I do not want Republicans to repeat 2008’s mistakes. Americans can’t stand four more years of Obama’s ‘socialism and surrender’ policies. Republican Party primary voters deserve a genuine anti-Obama presidential candidate.

“I am also going to try to start some TV production while I am in New Hampshire. We will be the first presidential campaign to air advertising if our financial resources permit. We’ll do as much as campaign contributors provide us with in the way of a budget.”

Martin will be New Hampshire’s Favorite Son in the primary. He spent summers at Hampton Beach as a child. His mother was born in Manchester; she is a 1940 graduate of the University of New Hampshire. Martin’s family emigrated from Greece and was part of Manchester’s vibrant Greek-American community in the early decades of the twentieth century.

“Although I am best known as the author of the columns and book that exposed Obama’s hidden part,” Martin says, “I will not be a one-issue candidate. I have concerns about the Republican Party’s attitudes towards consumer protection. Republicans are too dependent on Wall Street campaign cash. The moneyed leadership of both political parties is too removed from the daily struggles of ordinary Americans.

“I want to build within the Republican Party a ‘Creative Conservatism’ that unites every American family so that united we can ‘Stand Up to Wall Street.’ There will be some very tough and very creative policy proposals coming from my campaign.

“Last week Neal Abercrombie threw down the Birther gauntlet; I hope Abercrombie is ready for the response,” Martin will state.

WTPL welcomes any media that want to view the live announcement at 10:00 A.M. at the radio station.

December 29th Concord, NH news conference details:

LIVE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Andy will make a live-on-the-air-and-on-the-Internet announcement starting at approximately 10:00 A.M. on the “Bulldog Brian Tilton Show.” At 11:00 A.M. he will take questions at the Legislative Office Building in Concord. [WTPL is live-streamed on the Internet for worldwide listening.]

Obama author and conservative Republican leader Andy Martin has scheduled a Chicago news conference for Wednesday, December 29th to announce that he will mount a campaign for the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nomination focusing on Barack Obama’s ineligibility for the office. Martin has been known as the “King of the Birthers.” He is the author of a bestselling book on Obama. Martin’s original writing and research in 2004 are the acknowledged origins of the anti-Obama “Birther” movement. Martin says what tipped the scales in favor of his presidential candidacy was Hawai’i Governor Neal Abercrombie’s latest attacks on Americans who question Obama’s family origins.

Internet powerhouse Andy Martin expected to launch a presidential campaign as a “Birther” candidate for the Republican Party’s nomination

(NEW YORK)(December 26, 2010) Internet Powerhouse and conservative Republican Party corruption fighter Andy Martin has scheduled a Chicago news conference for Wednesday, December 29th at which he is expected to announce his candidacy for the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nomination. Martin is currently in New York.

Martin says the “last straw” in inducing him to run was Hawai’i Governor Neal Abercrombie’s latest attacks on the “Birther” movement. Martin is the de facto founder of the anti-Obama Birther movement that reflects doubts about Obama’s family origins

Abercrombie has said he is going to attack Birthers (see links below) by opening Hawaii’s records.

Martin triggered a firestorm of left-wing attacks and a front-page smear by the New York Times when he appeared on a Fox News program and exposed Obama’s socialist agenda during the 2008 campaign.

“Since Barack Obama is ‘vacationing’ in Hawai’i,” Martin stated Sunday in New York where he is meeting with potential supporters for his campaign, “Maybe he could call over to the Hawai’i Health Department and authorize them to release the typewritten copy of his 1961 birth certificate, the so-called ‘long form’ that Obama has steadfastly refused to disclose. What is Obama hiding?

“Has Governor Neal Abercrombie seen the long form?

“There is nothing in Hawaii law that prevents the release of the typewritten long-form birth certificate for the President of the United States. Hawai’i law was intended to prevent the release of personal information involving private citizens, not to conceal a conspiracy by President Barack Obama to hold office when he is constitutionally ineligible to do so.

“Ironically, Mr. Abercrombie is implicitly joining the Birther movement if he really wants to release Obama’s secret Hawai’i records; I say ‘Welcome to the party, Neal. How about starting with the typewritten 1961 long form? Why is it being hidden?’”

“I have made so many trips to Hawai’i to investigate Obama that a local newspaper once called me a resident of Honolulu. I feel at home in Hawai’i. I am the only one of Obama’s critics that has done extensive research in Hawai'i. Obama fears me precisely because I am devoted to finding the facts and searching for the truth, unlike some Birthers who are money-grubbing hucksters and incompetent attorneys.

“What is interesting is that Obama appears to be behind Abercrombie’s latest gambit. Obama arrived in Honolulu and within hours the Birther attacks started, using Obama bird-dog Abercrombie.

“I believe Republican Party presidential primary voters should have the option of expressing their concerns about Obama’s origins, and voting for a candidate who is unafraid to tackle the issue of Obama’s qualifications to serve as president. As a legal scholar and someone who has studied this issue extensively, I am convinced Obama is ineligible to be president. He is an illegitimate president.

“Likewise, Obama is the product not of a Hawai’i ‘marriage’ but rather of an illicit affair if you believe Obama's own fairy tale. His ‘father’ was legally married to a woman in Kenya. There is no way under Hawai’i law Barack Obama Senior could have contacted for a legal Hawai’i marriage. The fact that Obama’s own story leaves him as an illegitimate child motivated me to search for an alternative explanation, which I found in my theory (underscore theory) that Frank Marshall Davis was Obama’s biological father. Obama has never attacked my ‘Davis Theory.’

“Six years ago I created the anti-Obama movement when my research disclosed that Obama was concealing his Muslim origins. I have produced a film on Obama's origins (see below) as well as a bestselling book. In all of this work I have tried to separate my partisan views, i.e. opposition to Obama’s political agenda, from my duties as a scholar and researcher to seek and write the truth. I have consistently and conscientiously stuck to a search for the facts about the Mysterious Mr. Obama. That is why Obama and his thugs fear me, and do not fear other Birther characters.

“My writing and research triggered a movement that now has 100 million Americans questioning Obama’s origins. I call myself a ‘doubter,’ but I accept the media’s use of the term ‘Birther.’ What matters is not what they call us; what matters are the facts and truth about Barack Obama’s origins. That's all I want. That’s what the American people want, and that’s what they are entitled to from their presidential candidates,” Martin said in announcing his news conference.

“John McCain would be sitting in the White House today if he had tackled the Birther issue,” Martin says. “Conventional Republicans are afraid to raise the question of Obama’s origins. That’s why Republican presidential primary voters deserve the option of voting for me as a Republican Birther.

“I will not be a one issue candidate. There are a lot of conservative issues that ‘Wall Street Republicans’ would like to sweep under the presidential campaign carpet. I will be there to speak on behalf of Main Street, not Wall Street.

“And, P.S., while Abercrombie is at it, why doesn’t he ask his pal Obama to release his Punahou School [Honolulu] records, and his Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School records? How did Saudi stooge Khalid al-Mansour end up on Obama’s list of law school supporters?”

Martin’s Chicago news conferences are known as “Bunker Busters” because of the firestorms they create and the myths they explode.

THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE IS TENTATIVE. A FINAL NEWS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE MADE ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28TH.

12/21/2010

Conservative columnist Andy Martin strikes back at liberal lies about the civil rights era and brands the Washington Post’s Gene Robinson a resident “Racist-in-Chief.” Martin says efforts by the mainstream media to demonize Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour are part of a relentless attack on Republicans and Conservatives. Andy says “Gene Robinson’s ‘Big Lie’ shall not pass.” Liberals are not going to be allowed to rewrite the history of the civil rights revolution and the Republican Party’s leading role in that great moral crusade.

(NEW YORK)(December 2, 2010) It’s “holiday" time for some (for me Christmas). While most people have good cheer in their hearts, the relentless disinformation and racist smears of the mainstream media are going full blast to demonize Governor Haley Barbour and Republicans in general. As someone with actual knowledge and experience of the civil rights era, the media and the Republican Party, I rise unhesitatingly to stand up to and condemn the Washington Post’s resident Racist-in-Chief, Gene Robinson, and to condemn efforts to demonize Barbour. I have no links of any sort to Governor Haley Barbour.

The origins of the latest controversy are an article in the Weekly Standard in which Barbour discusses in passing the civil rights era from his perspective. (link below) The gist of Barbour’s view is that as the civil rights era unfolded, different communities reacted differently. Out of this tiny acorn the Washington Post has created a mighty oak of lies, more lies and damn lies. The Post’s Gene Robinson is the prime orchestrator of this despicable behavior.

The Post began by reporting Barbour’s comments as though the governor was a racist. (links blow). Then the Washington Post’s latest “conservative writer” Jennifer Rubin buried Barbour’s presidential campaign before it was even announced (link below). The Washington Post always keeps a liberal-Democrat-as-“conservative” on its staff. Rubin is the Post’s latest liberal “conservative.” Rubin’s “conservative” predecessor, Dave Weigel, was fired by the Post when he was outed as a liberal: Weigel promptly became a flack on Keith Olbermann’s nightly left-wing tirade. Some “conservative.” [Full disclosure: Weigel has also written lies about me.]

Younger Post writers trying to make sense of the attacks on Barbour looked back to Gene Robinson’s despicable earlier attack on Barbour that had slipped by unnoticed during the heat of the recent campaign (link below).

Robison’s Big Lie: that Republicans in the South were racists during the civil rights civil war, and that Barbour’s claim that Republicans led the civil rights era is nonsense. Gene Robinson is a bald-faced liar.

Robinson’s distortion and disinformation of Barbour’s views: “He [Barbour] has the gall to try to portray Southern Republicans as having been enlightened supporters of the civil rights movement all along.” (link below)

Here are the facts:

1. Slaves were emancipated by a Republican president, Abraham Lincoln. In gratitude, from the end of the Civil War well into the 20th Century most African-Americans were Republicans, not Democrats. Jim Crow racism was a creation of Democrats, not Republicans.

2. During the years when the “solid South” was a bulwark of the Democratic Party, the most vicious racists were all Democrats.

3. The only federal civil rights advocates were Republican judges. Due to segregation, the actual Republican Party in the racist south was skeletal. But the handful of southern Republicans had one powerful trump card: they controlled federal patronage during periods of Republican presidents. When Dwight Eisenhower took office as a Republican president in 1953 he began to appoint “Republican judges” to the Court of Appeals in New Orleans and the federal district courts in the south. Republican appointees to the Court of Appeals Elbert Tuttle, John Minor Wisdom and John R. Brown were the men who captained the assault on Jim Crow and segregation.

4. The most illustrious federal judge of the civil rights era was probably Frank M. Johnson, a Republican who was appointed by President Eisenhower in 1955. Johnson was at the center of the desegregation wars, constantly battling Alabama Governor George Wallace.

5. In 1960 Presidential candidate John F. Kenney weakened the lingering support of African-Americans for the Republican Party by reaching out to civil rights advocates such as Reverend Martin Luther King.

6. But once elected, Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy renewed the Democratic Party’s practice of appointing racist judges to the federal courts in the South.

7. More Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965.

8. In the 1964 presidential election the South switched from Democrat to Republican. Southern voters backed conservative Republican Barry Goldwater. But Goldwater was no racist. Goldwater was as decent a man as ever served in the senate. Goldwater had a conservative vision that saw an excessively limited role for the federal government; his vision, when followed to its logical conclusion, was wrong on the issue of civil rights. If anyone believed in 1964 they were voting for a racist in backing Goldwater, they were mistaken.

9. In 1968 President Richard Nixon crafted the “Southern Strategy” to appeal to conservative white voters. The wisdom of that approach is open to debate. But by 1968 the climate had also shifted in the North. Bitter civil rights disputes had broken out in Chicago, where Mayor Richard Daley clubbed and arrested civil rights advocates (I was there). Angry Whites had already stoned Reverend Martin Luther King in Chicago in 1967.

10. Boston, home of the Kennedy dynasty, was also the scene of vicious civil rights resistance.

11. To say that Republicans had a monopoly on the growing resistance the civil rights agenda is demonstrably false. History, not even morally correct history such as the civil rights revolution, does not always move in a straight line.

The bottom line:

1. Segregation in the south was entirely a construction of the Democratic Party.

2. For decades almost all of the southerners fighting to maintain Jim Crow and segregation were Democrats. Most leading advocates of civil rights reform were Republicans.

3. Without Republican federal judges the civil rights revolution would have been stymied.

I know. I was there and saw it unfold before my eyes.

One closing observation about media lies and modern media mythology:

Today we are flooded with media contacts and images. We have cable TV bobbleheads, news, opinion, blogs, the Internet. We even have “dead tree media” (national newspapers). There is a daily avalanche of information. That was not the world in which Haley Barbour and I grew up.

The evening news was still 15 minutes going into the 60’s. “National” newspapers did not exist. Actual information and “news” was scarce. Almost all of our daily news came from local papers and the odd radio news report; they in turn were dominated by clipped wire service journalism.

Looking back half a century from today’s perspective, we instinctively and unconsciously compress years of civil rights activity into a few dramatic moments and a linear narrative. But that was not the way the civil rights revolution actually unfolded and took place day-by-day in the earlier media age.

There was scant “news” coverage, except for reporting on the occasional dramatic demonstration (Bull Conner in Birmingham or Governor George Wallace barring the door) and most people in Illinois, as well as those in Yazoo City, Mississippi, were only peripherally aware of the civil rights maelstrom taking place beyond the horizon.

Gene Robinson wants to rewrite history to paint Republicans as racists. That is a Big Lie. Robinson has sadly become the Washington Post’s resident “Racist-in-Chief.” For shame, Mr. Robinson.

P. S. Resident liberal “conservative” Jennifer Rubin has the Barbour-as-a-racist brouhaha backwards. The fact that the Barbour controversy is being ventilated now, before the governor even announces, means the issue of media lies is out in the open to be confronted and deconstructed.
